176 Resolving the Contract
In less than ten minutes, Kong Rui’s Divine Transformation Pill was refined.
Although there was still a certain difference in quality between this pill and the one Chao Bai had mentioned previously, it was already enough for the little phoenix, who urgently needed to terminate the contract.
Kong Rui handed the Divine Transformation Pill to the little phoenix.
The little phoenix was about to take the pill when Wen Qiong, who was on the bed, let out an anxious whimper.
Kong Rui glanced at Wen Qiong and said, “The little phoenix has been tortured by you for many years. I’ll get back at you for this. However, all of this will have to wait until the contract is terminated!”
With that, Kong Rui watched as the little phoenix swallowed the pill.
As soon as the pill entered its stomach, a red halo suddenly burst out from the little phoenix’s body.
In the next moment, the little phoenix suddenly howled sharply.
“Little Phoenix, what’s wrong?” Not knowing what was wrong with the little phoenix, Kong Rui immediately panicked. Seeing the little phoenix rolling on the ground in pain, Kong Rui suddenly thought of Shen Heng.
“Could Shen Heng be lying?!” Kong Rui was shocked and immediately ran to help the little phoenix up to check on it.
However, the little phoenix’s body was hot, as if flames were burning. Even Kong Rui couldn’t approach it.
Kong Rui immediately felt guilty. “Little Phoenix, don’t be afraid. I’ll definitely think of a way to save you!”
Kong Rui slapped Shen Heng’s face hard to wake up.
It was only when Shen Heng’s face became red and swollen from Kong Rui’s slap that he slowly woke up.
For a moment, Shen Heng was baffled by what had happened and he felt his cheeks burn.
“What, what’s going on?” Shen Heng let out a low cry, then covered his face and wailed.
“Tell me! What’s wrong with the little phoenix?! Were you lying to me?!” Kong Rui placed her dagger on Shen Heng’s shoulder again.
This time, Shen Heng didn’t have the arrogance from before. He lowered his head slightly and said with a shrug, “How would I dare lie to you?! Especially since you have a dagger! As for why Little Phoenix became like this, I really don’t know…”
“Wait, why is the little phoenix here?” Shen Heng suddenly reacted, but in the next moment, he felt his vision go dark. Kong Rui knocked him out again.
Seeing that Shen Heng seemed to be clueless as well, Kong Rui could only go forward to check on the little phoenix again.
The little phoenix, who had been flipping around desperately just now, seemed to have relaxed a lot. It knelt on the ground as it panted desperately, but the hot flames around its body showed no signs of subsiding.
Kong Rui wanted to go forward and check on it, but she was blocked by the scorching flames.
“Little Phoenix, how do you feel? How can I help you?” Kong Rui asked anxiously again.
Suddenly, the little lion’s voice sounded from Kong Rui’s divine sense. “Master, let me out quickly! I have a way to help the little phoenix!”
Kong Rui immediately released the little lion.
The little lion emitted a golden light as it gradually approached the little phoenix’s flames. The golden light gradually fused with the hot flames, and there were no signs of resistance.
The little lion walked to the little phoenix’s side.
It spread its huge wings and slowly wrapped the little phoenix’s body.
The flames gradually disappeared, and the little phoenix’s body no longer emitted sounds like bones breaking.
After a while, Kong Rui suddenly felt a pain in her spine. It was as if new bones had grown out of the gaps between her bones.
Kong Rui knelt on the ground in pain, but she used her hands to support herself and refused to fall.
The pain became stronger and stronger. Her body felt like it was constantly being burned by flames.
